Back street in Gateshead
This image, in the style of Bill Brandt, is from a scanned negative of a photograph taken in the mid to late 1970s. It shows a typical back street in Bensham, Gateshead.
Most of the homes in this area were built in the early 20th century. They consist of a single story apartment on the lower floor with a two story house above it. The homes in the foreground have not been altered: the glass dormer windows in the roof form part of the upper dwelling, while the tiled roofs below are the kitchen of the flat on the ground floor. The buildings further down have added two story extensions to increase the living area.
Other images from this period can be found in the album flic.kr/s/aHBqjA9zTC.
